What can I say?

Since the time I was little, I've always had a way with words.

With a family like mine, you sort of have to.

Between my mom's bold and brash Irish roots and my father's six Italian brothers, I grew up surrounded by a lot of noise. Add on the fact that I'm an identical twin, and I guess you could say that from a young age, I was desperate to find a voice.

So instead of joining the shouting match, I started putting my thoughts on paper. From reading Keats and Shelley on my uncle's hearth as a child to writing spoken word and short stories and poetry of my own, my love affair with words grew and flourished. And suddenly, I found I actually had quite a lot to say after all.

Now the real trick is getting me to shut up.

Because writing for me isn’t just a job or even a passion. It’s the only way I know how to survive. And with every new line of copy, that little voice is fighting to push its way through the throng; to reach out and touch someone and make an ad feel truly human— if only for one glorious, fleeting moment.

Or, you know, something like that.

Ask me about the time...

• my flashlight went out 40 feet under the Caribbean Ocean in a school of tarpon

• a Scottish sailor gave me barbecue and a secret tour of an 800-year-old abbey

• I (unofficially) broke a Guinness world record with my identical twin
